I imagine with all the radio royalties Jay Gordon collects off of Blue Monday and Stitches and Fiction and the trust fund situation with Elijah its not surprising that Deadsy and Orgy were hibernating for a while.

Nine inch nails haven't put out an album in five years. Trent has a lot of side projects hes constantly working on. The Birthday Massacre are probably a better example of a band that has never really gone away unlike all the others.

They are more under the radar than Deadsy or Orgy. Much more than Orgy. Their level of success is more comparable to Deadsy. Never had any hit songs. But developed a strong cult following. And they do chart on billboard. They are a Canadian group with a similar sound but with a female singer with an amazing voice. Ive known about them for a long time. Almost as long as Deadsy.

One's a cover and the other two haven't been played since their label was paying radio to play them, so somehow I doubt it.

I think as soon as Elijah signed with Johnathan Davis' record label and started playing the Family Values Tour it all really went to his head. I remember interviews where he would say Deadsy are going to take over the world and there's going to be Deadsy merchandise for every occasion. Deadsy bathrobes etc. And then they ended up selling 150,00 copies of Commencement which forced the label to shut down and it all blew up in his face.

I lived next door to this club where all the burned out nu-metal late 90s acts played
I knew the owner well so I used to go for free or $5 and get blitzed
I’ve seen Saliva, Orgy, Fuel, Eve 6, Trapt, Cold, Blue October, VAST there
The only good band I saw there was VAST
...which, by the way, it’s a travesty that they never hit it big

I saw Deftones here in 2007. And I think that was the same year Deadsy opened for them although Deadsy weren't opening when I saw them. And that was pretty much Deadsys' last year of being relevant and being an active band.

You know there is a Swedish band called Vanity Beach that constantly get compared to Orgy that I've known about for years. And somehow they have a Wikipedia entry although I have no idea why. They don't chart at all in the UK or the States. And I only found out about them through Deadsy's website. They have never been relevant at all. The Birthday Massacre are at least somewhat relevant. They play with some pretty big groups and they do chart on billboard.

I cant really think of a lot of female fronted nu metal / industrial bands that are as big as TBM. Kittie come to mind. Human Waste Project never really got that big. And then they became The Start and The Start had a different sound and were even less successful. And Jack Off Jill were like Human Waste Project. They didn't last that long and never really got that big either.
